MeggieSoft Games Gin Rummy is a very comprehensive implementation of the popular card game including Hollywood and Oklahoma variations. Play against online opponents or against your computer. Gin Rummy has a rich user interface with many customizable graphic, sound (including MIDI music and speech output), rule and scoring options. Six different computer opponent skill levels are available for when you are unable to get online, or just want to practice privately.

Gin Rummy is a game of taking and melding cards with the object of being able to lay your cards down as rank sets (e.g. three Kings) or runs (e.g., 8, 9, 10 of Clubs) before your opponent. You may take either a new card from the stock, or the opponent's last discard, to start your turn. You end your turn by discarding a card. The first player to 100 points wins the game. The many rule and scoring options affect when you can knock (go out) and how many points are awarded.
